The experience of having an unhindered view of the grassland while lying in the bed is beyond words. This accommodation provides a great experience in feeling remote, but in a safe, convenient, and luxurious environment. The place is away from the main tourist crowd and is worth the drive further north to the King Nehale Gate. Representation of the Aawambo people and culture is beautifully detailed through the decor, hospitality, and food options. I wish I could have the interior designer work on my house! Our family enjoyed the stay and wished we could stay longer. Although we were on a family trip, the location would be ideal for a romantic getaway. The afternoon safari guide was well done. The hot water does run out, so time showers according. Laundry service is stellar, the room was immaculately clean, the food is top-notch, and the staff provide an authentic and welcoming environment. I greatly recommend this lodging.

We spent two nights at the lodge while exploring north/east of Etosha national park and we absolutely loved it. It’s a hidden gem with its own private entrance gate and view of the national park. Staff and service is fantastic as well.

The room with private pool was absolutely beautiful! Food was good. Waterhole excursion was good, just the road needs some work and it’s quite a distance away. We wish we had not booked game drives prior as we ended up doing our own drive into the park, saw lots, big herds of elephant are great to see.

A real treat, an unassuming oasis at the top of Etosha. Excellent value and great staff. Thank you for a wonderful stay. I’ve found all the Gondwana lodges to be superb.

Our favourite hotel in Namibia!

By far the best room I stayed in in Namibia. Large, bright and luxurious, with lots of welcome extras, and the plunge pool so refreshing at the end of the day. The food was very good and the staff were tripping over themselves to offer us help. There were lots of animals at nearby watering holes. It’s relatively new and my advice would be to get there before the secret is out!

This was our second stay at the Etosha King and it wasn't as good as our first. We were very much looking forward to our stay here after a excellent experience in 2021. The rooms were just as good, the separate villas with private plunge pool are comfortable and of high quality. Our guide, Davis was also very good after we spent the morning with him in the park and afternoon at the waterhole. The difference this year was at meals and within administration, where the staff appeared under trained and under resourced. A light lunch took over a hour to arrive, drink service was very slow, our final invoice was mishandled and the property took money from my credit card for the stay that should only have been paid at departure, (which may or may not have been already refunded). Its difficult to recommend this property at this time. The park is very close and has excellent animal and birdlife. The rooms are very good with really nice views of open savannah. Apart from one shinning light at the restaurant, (the guys who brings the schnapps helped as much as possible to look after us), it feels like a very demotivated team here.
